BELMONT HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMING ARTS COMPANY Presents
AN ABSOLUTE TURKEY
The PAC Fall Play is a French farce written by Georges Feydeau in the 1890s. This fast-paced, humorous show skewers the morals of upper class society as a bunch of aristocrats attempt to have extramarital affairs (or catch their spouses having an affair). When everyone accidentally ends up in the same hotel room on the same night, mistaken identities, interference from hotel guests and staff and wacky hi-jinks lead to disaster for some and a happy ending for others. This production depicts sexual situations - played for laughs, but with some "adult humor" in the mix.
Advance Ticket Purchase encouraged: Ticket sales and more info at bhs-pac.org

Although we came up short in a hard-fought battle against Winchester, our boys once again showed heart, resilience, and pride until the very end. Our final offensive drive — capped off by a touchdown from Senior Captain Kyle Curtis to Senior Andre Chavushian — gave the Marauders a surge of confidence and momentum heading into the last three weeks of the season.
As we approach the end of the season, we still have several competitive matchups ahead and, of course, our Thanksgiving Day game to look forward too. The energy around the program remains high, and the players are locked in on finishing the season strong.
JV Recap
Our JV team showed great fight this past weekend, storming back from a 14–0 deficit — led by Ronan Kelleher — to finish in a 14–14 tie against Winchester. That brings their record to 4–3–1, with three games remaining.
Our younger players, especially the freshmen, continue to develop each week and gain valuable game experience that will help build the future of Belmont Football.
This week, all eyes are on a big matchup against Wayland.

The girls saw the podium a lot on Sunday at the north sectional meet. Congratulations to senior Elizabeth Guevara placing 2nd overall in both the 100 yd freestyle and 200 yd freestyle. She also broke the 39 year old school record in the 200 free. Freshman Maggie Han placed 5th overall for diving, junior Karen Tao placed 5th overall in the 200 Individual Medley, and senior captain Lily Glavin placed 7th overall in the 50. All of our relays placed in the top 8, but our 200 yd freestyle relay placed 1st overall. Congratulations Karen Tao, Reina Yano, cpt. Lilly Glavin, and Elizabeth Guevara. We look forward to competing at D2 States this Sunday! |

Girls cross country looks forward to competing at the MIAA Division 1 Championships in Wrentham on Saturday. We are looking forward to seeing the hard work the athletes have put in all season and hope to grow on past team performances in a highly competitive division. |
The Varsity Field Hockey team had an outstanding week in the Division 1 state tournament, earning decisive wins over Newton North (5–1) and Wachusett (4–0) on Harris Field. The team will travel to face #3 seed Wellesley High School on Friday in the Elite 8 round. The players’ chemistry has been impressive with multiple athletes contributing goals, communication continuing to strengthen, and the passing game has been exceptional. |
